Not all cannabis strains are ideal for distillate extraction and vaporizing. Some landrace strains from Jamaica and Mexico, for example, are great for smoking but not for vaping because their terpene profiles become too harsh or unpleasant in distillate form. This is not the case with Skywalker OG, a hybrid indica that delivers an excellent vaping experience.
The parent strains of Skywalker OG are indica hybrids that include Blueberry and OG Kush, two of the main cannabis strains that kicked off the vaping revolution. When you get a cartridge for a reusable battery or a disposable pen that has been filled with Skywalker distillate, you’ll be in for a good time. The history of the strain’s origin is hazy; it is believed to have been bred in the Emerald Triangle of California, perhaps in Humboldt County, for the medical marijuana market. Patients smoked Skywalker to alleviate chronic pain, reduce insomnia, and manage anxiety; at the time, it was also available as a tincture.
If you enjoy earthy flavor profiles with a touch of earthy sweetness, you’ll certainly enjoy Skywalker cartridges. The indica effects are immediate and euphoric, but they are not overpowering. If you are used to smoking and new to vaping, you will want to set your pen at a lower setting and start with lighter inhalations until you get used to it. If you start with big hits and coils heating up at their maximum temperature, the cloud of terpenes may irritate your throat, so be sure to take it easy.
